Bookkeeping
CAREER OUTLOOK
Your New Career
Thousands of new businesses open each year and every organization, large or small,
needs someone with the right training to maintain and update its financial records.
Bookkeepers hold vital positions within the companies they work for. They verify
and balance receipts, post debits and credits, and record transactions.
Some Bookkeepers have offices in their own homes and make extra money in addition to their regular salary. Newspaper ads regularly appear for payroll clerks, accounts receivable and payable clerks, and Bookkeepers for large and small businesses. Enjoy career independence in this exciting profession!
